2019 starting off with more bump pictures, baby B’s little heart beat, and a little wiggle at the end. It’s crazy to think that in 4 ish months our lives are going to be completely changed. #24ishweeks - 3 months ago

Confession: I did not want to post this picture. I know some people love having a belly, but I don't. And when I look at this, the first thing I see is tired eyes and lumps. I have no idea how much weight I've gained this pregnancy because I threw out the scale a long time ago, and I even know that a year from now, I will look back and think that I look fine, cute even. But my current hormones and emotions are telling me that I look a hot mess, and that's not okay. I'm not hunting for compliments, just acknowledging that I get down on myself too, and some of the silliest aspects of motherhood are the hardest thoughts to take captive.
So, why am I posting anyway? Because my emotions rarely speak absolute truth, and I know I will regret not having these memories of my children growing up. I'm sowing seeds of truth (changing bodies in pregnancy are good and necessary to accommodate the sweet life growing inside) in my soul (again!) in the confidence that their growth will choke out the weeds of self-deprecation and pride.
I'm sure this seems quite frivolous to many, but I share to acknowledge that, while, yes, some of the things we get hung up on are pretty dumb, it is how we respond going forward that is the true measure of our depth in the Lord.
May we dig deep into his truths this Monday, and let the rest fall away as chaff.

My favorite part about being pregnant is how very unpregnant and blobby my stomach looks you can literally see the bubble of fluid from surgery, if you could see it clearly in a picture from the front you could see that my stomach is also split because of my scar running down it and you’d see a weird bump from my belly button that they put in after one of my surgeries. I did not know that a “made” belly button would suck so much during a pregnancy but oh well! I’m almost done.... right? Anyway, just some fun that you get to enjoy when you are me and have had a zillion surgeries #24ishweeks - 7 months ago

Scout and his baby ️. Every day at some point he finds a way to snuggle her. #24ishweeks#rainbowbaby - 8 months ago

Well, I guess it's time to make an announcement. Because if it's not on Instagram, did it really happen? Clearly, I have been dragging my feet. First morning sickness, then "I don't do bump pictures until the last month", then a camera shy little girl (!) who didn't give us any good ultrasound pictures (takes after her mom!). So, the nasty drink it is! Cheers! 🥂

Anyways, I wanted to remind you all that YOU are in control. This is your life and you determine how you live it. Yes, shitty things will happen but so will amazing things. You have to appreciate both ends of the spectrum and everything in between. It's all about perspective, train your mind to see the positive in every situation. I promise you that you will not get where you want to be by letting life be in control and constantly thinking negative. If you want something to change, you have to be open to change. I'm starting to lose my train of thought lol but the bottom line is, YOU ARE IN CONTROL of how you react to life and you choose whether or not to learn/grow from it🏼. - 1 year ago
